Direct Contact Heaters (DCHs) have become more efficient than Closed Feedwater Heaters (CFHWs). Feedwater Heaters have been a mainstay in power plants for decades. Modern technological advances, however, have made DCHs the ideal solution for current and future power plant applications. A Shift in Performance Direct contact heaters are not new to the power generation […]

If you have noticed a decrease in the efficiency of your circulation heater, the most common culprit is fouling. Fouling is often accompanied by symptoms like pressure drops and inconsistent flow range. It can also cause temperatures to fall above or below the target range, using up more resources to heat or cool. The earlier […]

Tri-clamp fittings are pipe connections with versatile uses. This type of connection compresses a gasket between two tri-clamp flanges closed a clamp for a sanitary seal. This makes a tight seal that prevents leaks and contamination, while also allowing for easy removal during disassembly or cleaning. How to Choose Tri-Clamps for Your Heater System? The […]

There’s a big future in small nuclear reactors. Although nuclear power has been an ideal power source for decades, globally, it has been underused. Less than 1 percent of nuclear heat is used in district and process heating.  Small nuclear reactors, using electric heaters, have the potential to turn this around. They provide cleaner, effective […]

Even with restaurants temporarily closing their doors or reverting to delivery-only models, the food industry has not slowed down. From production to supply, food is one of the most essential services by any measure. Sanitation measures are always important in this industry, but during the COVID-19 outbreak, it has become an even greater priority.  Food […]
